Why?: The UC Regents are joining the UC and Bechtel Corp., a notorious war
profiteer and human rights violator, to be the contractors to the US
nuclear weapons laboratories (DESPITE repeated UC-wide resolutions in the
past from faculty and students and a recent UC Berkeley student-gov.
resolution that ties be severed), and to be the producers of a new
generation of bunker-buster nuclear weapons which could be used in a
nuclear strike against Iran. Without significant disarmament efforts,
nuclear proliferation will continue around the world.

The UC Regents (who are appointed for 12 year terms) also continue to
abuse their undemocratic and unaccountable positions by squandering
unauthorized public funds to pay themselves hundreds of millions of
dollars at the expense of students, the university and the public.
